Ault teamed up with freshman Ryan Nelson in doubles to break the all-time mark with career win number 103. The mark was previously held by Tyler Ault, Trevor's older brother.

DC was also victorious at the numbers two and three doubles positions, as Craig Bills and Cord Speelman won at the two spot with a score of 8-3, and Austin Gray and Justin Walker won a close 8-6 match. The win by Gray and Walker move the duo's winning streak to six matches.
